One of the things which George W. Bush was criticized for was the increase in the federal deficit during his tenure. It is an area where I had to criticize him too: no self respecting conservative wants deficit spending. Naturally, it was an issue which the Democrats (and I have to believe the President-elect as well, though I should check that) repeatedly blasted the President over.
Yet what is that we hear now? Barack Obama just about promises us that trillion dollar budget deficits will be the norm for the next little while. Or, basically, indefinitely. And where are all those Democrats who lambasted the outgoing Chief Executive today?
Supporting Obama and keeping their traps shut about the prospective deficits.
Liberal hypocrisy rearing it's ugly head again, my friends, that's all it is. They called Bush a hypocrite on the deficits essentially because deficit spending is bad management and against basic Republican principles, yet they virtually embrace deficits when it's their turn to lead. They turned on a dime on the issue.
But not to worry. They'll just take a few more dimes from your pocket to cover it.
2010 can't come quickly enough, let alone 2012. Especially if we're another $4 trillion in debt by then.
